The motorbike outriders are great to watch. Get near a junction and watch them intimidate the dumbass motorist who thinks he should ignore the closure
A great example here from a couple of years ago 😀

Like has been said, it’s normally 15 – 20 mins before the riders that they close the roads. The Police and Escort Group use a ” caterpillar ” method at junctions, unless they are crossing Dual Carriageways where they will just block the lot off.

I rode the Liverpool Stage yesterday and its a neat little circuit that should hold up for a sprint finish.
